2022 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR First Look

Rennie Scaysbrook | September 15, 2021
Triumph has taken its Speed Triple 1200 to the stylists. The muscle bike that kicked off the nakedbike category as we know it today has always been a favorite here at Cycle News, but there’s no denying the machine has always been a bit of a brute, both in riding and looks.

Triumph has fixed this by giving the Speed Trip a new suit, harking back to the classic style of the 1960s and ’70s but with all the trimmings of a modern super naked.
